Ive been a member of Scionlife for awhile and CafeXd, till a learned it was dead. This looks like a good xD specific forum. So here I am!

I have an 08 Super White xd with about 15k miles on it.

I currently have..
16" (Forumla Drift)FD-05 Enkei Wheels
Magnaflow axle back exhaust from PrecisionMuffler
Spectre intake that I put together
Rear spoiler from Scion
Shark Fin Antenna from VisualGarage
Tint
Blacked out emblems
Razzo shift knob
4-color interior lighting from Scion
Blue neons under the front of both front seats
Sport pedals
Scion floor mats
Illuminated Scion door sill protectors
Pure white LED map lights and dome light
Pure white LED license plate lights
Silverstar headlights
and.. my Tanabe DF210's should be here by Friday!

I'm pretty sure thats every little thing except my Tom Tom GO630 and Whistler XTR-190

I like this forum a lot. It's nice to have a good xD specific forum

Nice, you will get a good stance with them. I am running the TRD's on mine and I wish they sat a little lower...

I may eventually swap out my current springs with some DF's, or at least go with a narrower tire when it is time to change them out, since my tires scrape the wheel well liners over every little dip or man-hole cover - the Progress springs I have on now are really low in the front, I believe almost 3/4" lower drop than what the DF210's give you... there's barely a 1/2" clearance (on a diagonal) between my tires and the well liners at the lip of the wheel wells in the front. 18x7.5 Katana wheels, +45 offset, and 225/40/18 tires. Definitely doing 215 tires next time around!

Lol, I've finally worn holes the whole way through the liners on both front sides where the tires rub, so at least now it doesn't scrape quite as often anymore...


Limbo low now... how low can you go...!

Ohh wow haha. At least it looks good, right :P

Eventually when these tires on my 16's wear out I think I want to put some 17" wheels on, but not 18's.. How wide will I be able to go with DF's though because im defiantly looking for wider.

The springs just arrived at the local UPS a few minutes ago!

you can go wider. hehehehe, but it's up to the tires you run. i'm at 8.5 in front and 9 in back and with coils almost all the way down even with full loads hitting big dips on freeways i've not rubbed.

My Summer combo consists of 17x8 +35 offset, with 245/40R17 tires on TRD lowering springs... I rub on big bumps in the road, BUT only because of the body kit... The tires actually rubbed the kit enough to shave it down so it hardly ever happens anymore... This summer I'm planning on swapping to 225 or 235 series tires and I should be 100% rub free.

wow Ted, I just don't see how you can be running 8" wide wheels over my 7.5", +35 offset over my +45 (which sets your wheels OUT 10mm further), and 245 tires over my 225 (another 10mm), and not scrape more often - OH, you said TRD springs - that's a 1" drop compared to 1 3/4" drop for DF210's and almost 2 1/2" for the Progress; you definitely are not sitting as low in the front... I figure the surface of your sidewalls are sitting 26mm out further than mine, a full inch, they must actually sit outside the wheel well a little!

Looking horizontally, the tops of my front tires are actually tucked under the wheel well lip about a 1/4 inch, and you can barely stick a single finger between the edge of the tire tread and the wheel well liner at the closest point... I also only have about an inch and a half of travel on my shocks before they bottom out, even with the bump stops cut short, so I bottom out real easy if I'm not careful...
